The Israeli military just blew up the University of Palestine in Gaza City with 315 mines. All the universities in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. We need a full academic boycott.

Iran Goes Ballistic.

Iran’s missile assault both a show of force and a warning, the warning to the United States and Israel.

• All missile strikes lead to US/Israel.
• Iran can & will act on its own directly instead of through ‘proxy groups’ abroad in acts of self-defence.
• Iran has been careful to select targets; they have not attacked American targets. They have not sought to kill or wound Americans.
• They don’t want an attack like that (targeting Americans) which people like John Bolton, Lindsay Graham and the British government  would seize upon and say that this shows how aggressive, dangerous Iran is, we (the US) needs to counter these strikes by launching attacks on the Iranians
• These were calculated and measured strikes which demonstrates Iran’s missile capabilities
• It shows that Iran has long-range missiles that these missiles are very precise and are able to attack specific targets
• If an all out war breaks out in the Middle East, Iran has the ability to launch strikes of its own potentially against American positions and interests right across the Middle East and presumably American warships
• It is also warning to Israel that it too is in its sights and in range of Iranian missiles.

So, once again, it’s both a warning and a show of force.

This from IRGC General Sandar Hajizadeh: In response to the assassination of Islamic Revolution Guard Corps commander Seyyed Razi Mousavi, Iran launched 24 long-range missiles at two targets, one at Irbil, Iraq and the other at occupied Idlib Province in northwest Syria. 4 Khaybar Shaken from southern Khuzestan to Idlib. 4 from Kermanshah to Mossad base in Erbil. 7 from eastern Azerbaijan to Erbil. + 9 against Takfiris and ISIS in Syria

Unable to frontally attack Iran the U.S. has fallen back a la Syria to using proxies. Why is it unable to openly attack Iran? Because Iran and its allies are strong enough to seriously damage U.S. interests in the region, be they U.S. bases, oil facilities or transportation. Iran has made it very clear that it will retaliate militarily if push comes to shove. Unable to directly attack Iran, Washington’s new plan is to destabilize it from Iraq (the Kurdish areas) on the west and Pakistan on the east, especially the southwest Pakistani province of Baluchistan from where C.I.A. trained terrorists have launched terrorist attacks – like the recent one at Kerman at Gassan Suliemani’s grave – into Iran.

By hitting the targets in Irbil and Baluchistan (Pakistan) Iran has made it clear that Washington’s new proxy war against it is a dead end.

What Did Iran Hit?

In Iraqi Kurdistan: It hit and destroyed one of the main Mossad spy headquarters in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan that served as the center for developing espionage operations and planning terror attacks in the region, especially against Iran.

Senior  was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on Syria’s Damascus on December, 25, 2023. Seyyed Mousavi was one of the oldest IRGC commanders in Syria and he was close to the commander of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force, martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani. The Iranian commander was martyred after the Israeli occupation launched three missiles at his location in the suburbs of the Syrian capital of Damascus.

The attack on Erbil also killed Mossad-affiliated Kurdish oil tycoon Peshraw Dizayee, owner of Empire and Falcon Groups which reportedly facilitated oil exports to Israel

According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, Dizayee played a significant role in facilitating commercial relations, especially in the oil sector, between “Israel” and some entities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. In short, Peshraw Dizayee, according to our correspondent, was considered one of the targets of the strategic operation carried out by Iran in Erbil.

In Syria: In response to the terror attack in Kerman (Iran), that killed 100+ people, that targeted Qassem Soleimani’s grave during a commemoration of his assassination, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) hit and destroyed the positions and headquarters of ISIS-K and other extremist groups in Idlib, Syria.

Sources told Al Mayadeen that the targeted area was where ISIS-K militants were being trained by US forces and then transferred to AFghanistan to launch attacks inside Iran (and China). Apparently the missile attacks also h it areas controlled by Hayt Tahrir al-Sham (HTS. formerly the Al-Nusra Front) destroying training camps and headquarters belonging to the Turkistan Islamic Party.

The ballistic missiles launched by Iran towards northwestern Syria traveled a distance of 1230 kilometers (765 miles). This is the first time that Iran has launched operational missiles this distance, marking Iran’s biggest and furthest missile operation yet. The operation sends a clear message to Israel: Iran is fully capable of striking anywhere in the Occupied Territories. The targets were directly hit and destroyed, using 24 various types of ballistics missiles, among the the Khaibar-Shekan (1,450 km range).

The attacks, described by some as the longest-distance attacks in Iran’s history, came hours after the US army announced the deployment of 1,500 new troops to Iraq and Syria to bolster its pro-Israel actions.
